Not a bad day fishing! 1929.

MRS. MAHI CAUGHT AN AWA WITH A DIAMOND RING

One day this past week, Mrs. Esther Mahi went fishing like she always does. She always makes out at fishing; the kind that we Hawaiians call an iwi paoa [lucky]. But she was never as blessed before at fishing as she was this day, for she caught a huge awa (maybe an awa kalamoho), and within it she found a diamond ring of great value.

This ring is in the possession of Officer Palakiko, and it is looking for its owner.

Perhaps this is one of the rings which was advertised in the newspapers and thought to be lost.
